52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered, using Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable methodology. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1 – Price Factor 2 – Technical Acceptability

Sub-Factor 1 – Capability to supply all items to specifications for all orders.

Sub-Factor 2 – Capacity and capability to deliver all items within specified delivery schedules.

Sub-Factor 3 – All items are U.S.-made, qualifying country, or designated country end products IAW DFARS 252.225-7021, unless one of the exceptions provided at DFARS 252.225-7020(b)(2) applies and is certified by the offeror.

Factor 3 – Past Performance Sub-Factor 1 – Quality of Products Sub-Factor 2 – Timeliness of Deliveries Sub-Factor 3 – Customer Satisfaction and Business Relations Sub-Factor 4 – Similarity of Experience

Award will be made to the lowest price, technically acceptable offeror. In order to be technically acceptable, both factors of Technical Acceptability and Past Performance must be rated as "Acceptable".

Factor 1 - Price:

Line items will be identified as either subject or not subject to EPA. In evaluating price for EPA items, each EPA item will be priced for the base year only. For EPA items, the base period price will also be used as the option period pricing for purposes of evaluation. Unit prices will then be multiplied by estimated annual quantities to come up with a total evaluated item price for the base and four options.

In evaluating price for non-EPA items, each item will be priced for the base year and a standard percentage change will be provided for each option period. The percentage change will be applied to the base period unit pricing to calculate item pricing for each option year in a cumulative fashion (e.g. If the base year price for an item is $1.00 and the standard percentage increase is 10.0%, the first option year would be $1.10, and the second option year would be $1.21 calculated as $1.10 option year one price multiplied by 10%).

Pricing for non-EPA items will be multiplied by the estimated quantity per year to determine the evaluated price for each non-EPA line item for the base and four option years.

The total evaluated price for all items (both EPA and non-EPA) for the base and option years will be added together to determine the final evaluated price, which will be used to determine the lowest price.

Offerors may propose case packs or units of issue different from those already defined on the Solicitation Pricing Sheet (Attachment A). The government may accept or reject any suggested case pack change at its discretion. An offeror’s change in any case pack will automatically adjust the estimated quantity on the pricing sheet, so as to assure an equitable comparison using the same ultimate quantities.

The Solicitation Pricing Sheet at Attachment A will be used to evaluate the base and each option year for contract award (Offerors must complete all yellow areas without changing any other portions).

Prices will be evaluated for balance, fairness, and reasonableness. This evaluation will be based on the government’s estimate and competition. Offerors who have an unreasonably high or low total price may be eliminated from further consideration. Item prices that are deemed unreasonable or materially unbalanced may also cause an offer to be deemed nonresponsive and therefore ineligible for award.

Minimum Requirement:

All items must be priced.

Factor 2 - Technical Acceptability

The technical factor assesses whether the offeror’s proposal will satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements. The offeror shall submit a written explanation (maximum of 3 pages, single spaced, using a 12 point font with 1” standard margins) describing how the firm will fulfill the contract requirements.

Offers shall be rated as either technically “Acceptable” or “Non-Acceptable.”

In addition to completing the required certification at DFARS 252.225-7020, the offeror shall submit Letters of Supply demonstrating that each item is a U.S.-made, qualifying country, or designated country end product IAW DFARS 252.225-7021. Unless one of the exceptions provided at DFARS 252.225- 7020(b)(2) applies (such items must be listed on certification at DFARS 252.225-7020), offers that include end products from other than the U.S., a qualifying country, or a designated country may be rated “Unacceptable” and may not be considered further.

Receive an “Acceptable” rating for all of the following based on the narrative, DFARS 252.225-7020 certification, and Letters of Supply:

4) Capability to supply all items to specifications for all orders.

5) Capacity and capability to deliver all items within specified delivery schedules.

6) All items are U.S.-made, qualifying country, or designated country end products IAW DFARS

252.225-7021, unless one of the exceptions provided at DFARS 252.225-7020(b)(2) applies and is certified by the offeror.

Factor 3 - Past Performance

The past performance assessment is based on two aspects:

-The offeror’s record of Relevant and Recent past performance information (based on the following sub-factors) in relation to the specific requirement being procured.

1. Quality of Products

2. Timeliness of Deliveries

3. Customer Satisfaction and Business Relations

4. Similarity of Experience

-Whether the contractor performed satisfactorily on past contracts.

In evaluating past performance, the Government will use the Past Performance Contact Information provided to contact individuals and to ask them to complete the Past Performance Survey (Attachment D).

The government may use other sources of information, including, but not limited to federal, state and local government agencies, Better Business Bureaus, published media, electronic databases and contractor’s performance on DeCA contracts. The evaluation of past performance will consider relevant facts and circumstances. The Government will evaluate past performance as an indicator of future performance.

Past performance will be evaluated and rated as either “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.” The determination is a matter of judgment. If any response is not applicable, that question will not be used as a part of the evaluation and will be marked as “N/A”. If neither the business nor any key personnel have a record of relevant past performance, the Government will rate past performance neither favorably nor unfavorably.

A neutral rating will be considered as “Acceptable.”

Receive an Acceptable rating for all assessed past performance categories.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
